Aerial photos show various artistic patterns on the bed of the Yellow River as the water level has dropped at the Yellow River's Yongji section in north China's Shanxi Province, and the exposed riverbed has been washed away by the current. Some of these patterns are like freehand animal sketches, some are like big tree trunks, showcasing the power of nature to create beauty.
